According to a recent article in Medical News Today, "researchers postulate that changes to gut bacteria composition may contribute to being overweight and obesity in several ways, including increasing insulin resistance, inflammation, and fat storage."

According to Harvard Health, "a troubled intestine can send signals to the brain, just as a troubled brain can send signals to the gut. Therefore, a person's stomach or intestinal distress can be the cause or the product of anxiety, stress, or depression. That's because the brain and the gastrointestinal (GI) system are intimately connected."

When you simultaneously, feed the good bacteria in your gut with prebiotics such as fiber and probiotics, this contributes to a healthy, and balanced gut microbiome which can have an overall effect on brain function and mood. 

What is important to note and distinguish is that our proprietary blend of prebiotics and probiotics work synergistically together. We specifically chose prebiotics that would provide an energy source for the 15 strains to flourish in your gut microbiome.

Taking probiotics regularly helps build up an "army" of healthy bacteria in your GI tract and keeps the bad bacteria in check so they do not take over. The healthy bacteria stay in control by lessening the amount of food and space that the dangerous bacteria get access to.

Yogurt can work for some but, for those who are lactose intolerant or prefer a dairy-free option, Doctor's Biome provides the benefits of L. bulgaricus without having to consume unnecessary added sugars and calories that is present in most readily available yogurt.

Even if you are not currently suffering from GI condition like IBS taking probiotics containing B. infantis on a daily basis is important to replenish the healthy bacteria in your gut. As you age, the number of bacteria in your body typically declines. This can result from diet, stress, antibiotic use, health conditions, and other causes.

L. reuteri is "universal" because it is naturally found in the intestines of humans, as well as a diverse number of animals such as sheep, chickens, rodents, and pigs. It is one of the most ubiquitous strains of the mammalian gut microbiota, which suggests its importance in maintaining healthy digestive function.

Gut health has often been linked to overall health and well-being on a broader scale but a recent study explores the specific relationship between our gut microbiome and sleeping patterns. 

A synbiotic is a combination of active, living cultures of healthy bacteria (probiotics) and types of dietary fiber that feed these healthy bacteria in your gut (prebiotics).

The study suggests that the unique blend of probiotics and prebiotics in Doctor's Biome have functioned in a complementary, additive and possibly synergistic way to completely inhibit growth of C. diff.  One of the most important bioactive compounds released was lactic acid, which creates the optimal environment for the probiotics to flourish and unfavorable for C. diff, the harmful bacteria to grow. Lactic acid lowers the pH, which increases the acidity similar to the harsh environment of the digestive system.

Bifidobacterium longum or B. longum is 1 of 32 species that belongs to the genus Bifidobacterium able to digest dietary fiber, help prevent infection and produce vitamins.
